Core Fitness To Help You Survive An Emergency

An emergency situation can happen at any time. If it does and you aren’t ready, who knows how you will come out? These are the questions I ask all the girls at the Alpha Female Project near Hillsdale when we train. Let me show you how increasing your core fitness can improve your chances of being able to handle such an event.
Front line service people need core fitness
If you are a front line guy or gal, e.g firefighter, cop or ambo, the chances of you being in an emergency situation multiplies by the thousand. You guys face this stuff everyday!
Do you ever stop and ask yourself, “Could I have done better if I was fitter? Maybe I might have beaten that guy, had I been stronger? Should I have carried that lady? Could I have jumped that fence?” Or even worse, “Could I have saved that person?”
Being strong, agile and having core fitness is a state of being we should all be in, regardless of our age or profession. It is an obligation to ourselves, our families and our community.
Maybe one day you might need to lift a heavy object off someone to free them, would you know how to do it effectively? Watch my tutorial below to properly perform a tyre flip, these types of exercises will prepare you for such an event:
Train for real life, not the mirror
Bodybuilding style training and workouts just don’t cut it, either does your boring old 3, or 4, or even 10km run. When have you ever got to an emergency and said, “…Oh, I’ll just pace myself here.” Because that is how you train? Never!
Slow steady constant rhythmic movements and training won’t help you in an emergency. They don’t build the speed, the agility, the stamina or the explosive core fitness you need to rip that car door open, grab that 75 kg person and carry them 100 metres to safety. It won’t help you in a fight either, as a fight usually lasts only a few seconds!
You need to be able to run, jump, carry, push, pull, shove, flip, drop, sprint, roll, lift and a whole lot of other things and then be able to do it all again!

We teach tactical exercises, that improve core fitness and make you ready for anything.
